Typical Applications |
| Automotive Radar, Millimeter wave links, and other mm-wave applications such as 60 GHz |
| Description |
| |
The design experience described here is an output amplifier with gain control designed for automotive application at 24 GHz. This used the Jazz SiGe120 (SBC18) Bi-CMOS process. The power amplifier has on-chip output matching and filtering circuit. It has wide bandwidth of 4 GHz. It achieves 10 dBm output power under maximum gain and nominal conditions. The gain control can provide output power in 0.5 dB to 2 dB steps, as desired. The amplifier can have a differential configuration to reduce substrate and source noise. The amplifier also has on-chip temperature compensation and power down circuitry. The amplifier is terminated in differential output impedance of 100 ohms and can have ESD protection. The concept can be easily ported to other millimeter wave frequency of operation. |
